since you experienced it your self, i can't say anything but after applying those patches DoS attacks can just cause your net connection to crash while keeping your PC safe and running. thus i would recommend that you consider re-checking the updates and if possible install a firewall.

it really was a friend not a "friend" : peace2: I have myself a nice Coyote Linux based firewall here running off an old slimline Compaq 386..

Looks like there is a mad dash to windows update :laugh: I just thought I'd head over to Win. Update and their servers are the slowest I've ever seen. At first I thought it was just on my end, but after checking around it seems pretty common. Just seems kinda funny that it takes something like this to send everyone running for the latest updates.

From what I've read, it was pretty lousy programing too. Probably some kid who picked up a 'How to...for Dummies' book. I just hate to think what will happen when real programmer get a hold of this and decides to have some real 'fun'...
